American Canyon man found dead after a Vallejo motor home crash, a likely homicide victim, police say

An American Canyon man was found dead in his vehicle near Sutter Solano Medical Center on Saturday night, and Vallejo police officials suspect he was murdered.

The murder would mark the city’s second homicide of 2018.

At about 10:34 Saturday, the Vallejo Police Department received a report of a single-vehicle accident involving a motor home, near the intersection of Tuolumne Street and Hospital Drive.

Responding officers discovered a deceased, 47-year-old man in the driver’s seat. Based on his injuries, “it was determined that he died from something other than the collision,” Lt. Herman Robinson said.

Based on the victim’s injuries, the case is being investigated as a murder, according to a press release.
